Caleb is registered for pre-school, a parent teacher meeting has been attended, Adrianna was taken to Birthday parties for friends from school, invitations were given out for a party for Adrianna’s Birthday in August (late, for her friends here in France), special breads were baked and jam made for Adrianna’s teachers – all of these activities have come and gone with the end of the school year. Yesterday, Adrianna completed Grande Section Maternelle (Kindergarten) and is now on vacation and moving up to C.P. (First Grade) in the Fall. We were so pleased to hear all of her teachers express their joy to have had her this year and then relate things about her that could only make us beam. We are thankful for her witness and for the opportunities that we have had to be a witness as well because of her.
The Lord blessed in the services and Sunday school program on Sunday. It was amazing to see the way that He answered prayer for our final Sango service for the season. Not only did the Lord bring out every regular attendee but one (who was home sick), He also brought several who had visited in the past as well as five new people! There were 30 of us pressed into the small meeting room where we’ve been meeting. Included in the number were 10 children, reinforcing the need that has arisen for a Sunday school program for the children at the Sango service. The temperature was very hot that day (and every day this week) but the Lord helped the heat not to cause folks to fall asleep or leave early. After a good service, we enjoyed a time of fellowship and refreshments.
Praise for:
- the finish of a good school year for Adrianna and for all of the opportunities for outreach that the Lord gave through her.
- excellent attendance at the Sango service and for the excitement to start up again in the Fall.
- good progress in preparing for our departure for the USA on July 8.
Pray for:
- good attendance at the Sunday School picnic Sunday and that it will be an encouragement to all.
- our appointment Tuesday with the Sousprefecture’s office to renew our residency permits.
- our travels this month by car and plane and for the time we’ll have with family and with prayer and financial supporters; for Jonathan as he preaches in Grand Rapids on July 19.
Please be aware that we will not be travelling with our computer and that we will not have regular access to email or the Internet. We will, Lord willing, post our next update once we return to France in early August.
